    • Bioelectricity: A Bridge Between Physics and Cognition, by Way of Biology

      Bioelectricity: A Bridge Between Physics and Cognition, by Way of Biology
      Sep 23 2025
      This is a ~54 minute talk I gave, titled ""Bioelectricity: a bridge between physics and cognition, by way of biology", at the National Institute of Health Interest Group "Quantum SIG" (https://oir.nih.gov/sigs/qis-quantum-sensing-biology-interest-group). My talk doesn't contain any quantum biology content per se, but I discuss the idea of top-down control and cognition all the way down, from abstract mental goals to molecular pathways, with bioelectricity as a tractable medium for the communicat...

    • Intrinsic Motivation in Evolved, Engineered, and Hybrid Systems

      Intrinsic Motivation in Evolved, Engineered, and Hybrid Systems
      Sep 20 2025
      This is a ~1 hour talk I gave at the Oxford Robotics Institute called "Intrinsic motivation in evolved, engineered, and hybrid systems: the interface of biophysics, computer science, and behavioral science". It covers our work from the perspective of motivations - what are they (in various unconventional agents, spaces, and scales), how can we predict/change them, and where they "come from".

    • Against Mind-Blindness: Recognizing and Communicating with Agential Materials by Michael Levin

      Against Mind-Blindness: Recognizing and Communicating with Agential Materials by Michael Levin
      Sep 2 2025
      This is a 1 hour 11 minute talk by me called "Against Mind-Blindness: recognizing and communicating with Agential Materials and Beyond". It is a slightly longer, updated version of this talk from last month, containing a bit of new material and a somewhat differently-ordered presentation.
